I’m expecting to see the Reform vote represented at cenotaphs up and down the country dressed up like Barry Flowered Up such is their desire to outdo each other with their commitment to #RemeberanceDay
Missing the point entirely…..
Fight fascists then and now and respect our fallen

Here’s a sentence that I never thought I would write.
The Ting Tings have made a record that sounds like some long lost Fleetwood Mac demos that have been given a polish.
Lovely stuff but how it fits live with their original material is beyond me.

Saw my 56th Birthday in at the seen to be believed coolest place in the world Pikes Hotel.
Their rules of the house should be writ large within international law.
The world felt a better place and I appreciated how fortunate I am.
And @irvinewelsh.bsky.social doing a screenplay on Tony Pike!

Self-indulgent post. But as I’ve not much traction on here, so what.
I’m 56 tomorrow and planets aligning, intend to retire in exactly five years time.
I’ve never said those words out loud before because it felt so far off.
This weekend, I’m celebrating my birthday in Ibiza. At Pikes tonight

Wonderful @janeweaver.bsky.social on Friday night in Stockport.
We wondered down to the after show on Underbank and I’m now going to say something I never thought I would.
Stockport has gotten cool.
There, i said it.

Glorious white light and white noise from Spiritualized at Monday night’s Apollo Manchester 30 years ‘Pure Phase’ gig.
One of the greatest musicians this country has produced. And Jason Spaceman as cool and enigmatic as ever.
And great to to see fellow SPZD stalwart @theparisangel.bsky.social

I’m going to see Spiritualized doing ‘Pure Phase’ at t’Apollo tomorrow night, and have bought some ear protectors in readiness.
My hearing in my right ear is fucked and this feels redolent of Rocky being told one more punch could kill him but still steps into the ring with Ivan Drago….

The Oasis juggernaut will soon be hitting dizzying heights of hyperbole.
However, having had a listen to the early albums back to back, anyone who doesn’t think ‘Slide Away’ is there best track is quite simply wrong.
And they don’t sound like The Beatles until the last couple of albums. #Oasis

Looking forward to your new book - and Britpop foray into theatre!

I visited Leith last week and had a good walk around.
Incredible amount of redevelopment in the area which has transformed it. I’d go as far to say it’s undertaken as big a change as any U.K City.
The days of @irvinewelsh.bsky.social ‘Trainspotting’ are long gone..

I’ve reached the conclusion that ‘grown-up’ parties are simply out, a group of people complaining about how tired they are and being surprised that everyone they speak to has seen everything that they have on Netflix etc.

Goldbridge getting airtime on ‘big’ tv channels discussing Rashford situation.
Can someone not out this cunt for the fraud he is.
Akin to Tommy Robinson, it’s not even his real name. Isn’t he called Alphonso Fuckstick or something equally ridiculous?

Just been having a conversation with someone about electronic music - in particular Human League etc.
This lead to the burning question of has Sheffield got as great a musical pedigree/heritage as Manchester.
And even as a Manc, I have to say that it absolutely does.

This band are fucking superb musically and have something to say politically - which in itself is an understatement as they are red hot in this regard with their Unified Ireland ideology.

Funnily enough, his favourite player is Marcus Rashford.
